Iron Studios Emperor Palpatine

[Black Label Society]

Yep 100% sculpted... I like how he has a lightsaber up his sleeve

its not up his sleeve. its lukes saber hilt resting on his chair. you must not be a star trek fan.

the head sculpt is garbage. but the cloth is kinda amazing, too bad they don't have a better head sculpt. but for $120 its kinda hard to beat.

One of the funniest Freudian slips I've seen. Especially considering the context.

no. it was on purpose. its a joke as old as time.

The Emperor head considering it is a 1/10 statue looks quite ok.

yeah it does. i didn't catch the 1/10th part at first.

Do you guys know if they have any plans to do these in 1/4 scale?

They said they would be doing 1/4 Star Wars pieces. I was hoping they would have teased a TFA 1/4 statue by now, but they seem to be focusing on Civil War at the moment.

Cool thanks. I need a 1/4 Emperor and the Sideshow one is too expensive those days

I think it looks better then SS 1/6 Emperor... Hell for it's size it's pretty bad ass looking not to mention it's polystone and not a plastic figure.

Polystone is plastic too...

Polystone is plastic too...

well plastic with crushed stone mixed in it.... which IMO is a better material for statues then PVC. But that's just my opinion

It's always funny seeing how "statue guys" declare a statue is better than a figure. LOL

Problem with figures is most people just pose them standing straight up with arms to the sides, pretty boring IMO.... With statues you can get some really dynamic poses you can't achieve with a figure.... I've tried the Hot Toys, spent thousands of dollars on them and just wasn't my thing... I've sold them all off... And I know this will piss off some collectors but when I was trying to pose them and "" fluff "" their outfits I felt like I was playing with Barbie Dolls... Just being honest, not trying to knock anyone else who collects them... Where as Statues feel more like art, at least the ones not dressed in fabric outfits... again just my opinion....

Anyways I've tried lots of different collections (Hot Toys, Hasbro figures, Model Kits, Statues, etc...) and for me Statues is what I like the best...

I guess the price at secret compass went up from $120 to $150. Here's an un boxing someone did on it.

That's why I like props more than statues or figures. You have a piece of that movie in your house, nothing beats that feeling

Got him in from Brazil to bonnie Scotland this morning, really quick from eBay.

Will post pics soon but with just having a general overall look at him he is great, really tiny though.

 

[Walls]

Looks really impressive for its size, would have loved this in a 1/6th scale.
As for statues vs. figures vs. props? Well I've got small figures and large, small statues and some life size busts and some props. If I like it, I buy it. Lol

I will agree with you there, props are pretty cool.

Loving this great little piece, right up there with the Sideshow Emperor and Throne set -
